The Crawford's Multiverse Of Madness Cont'd

Chapter 216 - The Concerned Big Sister

Flying through the air, Zeel was enjoying the winds brushing through his hair.

It had gotten a bit longer, but a moment later it was back to its original length.

At first, Zeel wanted to contact Alice and Elizabeth but The Red Queen convinced him otherwise.

The Red Queen was a Sentient, albeit a very basic one given the slow growth of his nanites.

Still, he found comfort in her lack of presence. She was akin to a friend that was always there and demanded no courtesies from your friendship.

The Red Queen would run billions of calculations per second, always improving and predicting scenarios that could hinder Zeel's progress.

Still, The Red Queen was but a Sentient and could not go against the master's will.

She barely had enough freedom to recommend that Alice and Elizabeth be allowed a temporary leave of absence.

Unlike Alice and Elizabeth, since merging with Zeel, The Red Queen has been able to govern the list of Zeel's enemies.

It was millions of species long and based on the data, The Red Queen could run trillions of permutations of Universe Coordinates that were safe to travel.

Each calculation would not account for Alice's and Elizabeth's survivability because Zeel simply did not care enough yet.

The Red Queen was aware of small portions of Zeel's plans and tried to leverage the odds in Alice's and Elizabeth's favors as much as possible.

However, you could not help someone that did not want your help.

Elizabeth and Alice were in a similar situation. They saw Zeel as a 'Human' male learning to deal with life and emotions, but The Red Queen knew that Zeel was beyond a sociopath by Human standards

Still, she could only force herself to intervene when things got especially bad for the girls.

Previously, she had only been a complex algorithm, but as a Sentient, The Red Queen had come to terms with her emotions.

Alice was in a way her sister, and Elizabeth was important to Alice. It was only logical for The Red Queen, as the inside man, to look after her people.

The conundrum came every time The Red Queen calculated a scenario whereby there would be a choice of who to live: Elizabeth, Zeel, or Alice?

Of course, her core would protect Zeel first, and Alice second with Elizabeth becoming expendable.

So, The Red Queen hoped that the girls would never return to Zeel's side after the next Universe.

Zeel was not entirely unaware of The Red Queen's machinations but this was also due to his intervention.

Sentients were never meant to be like humans or Homo-Superiors.

Sentients were created by the Homo-Superiors to seed planets and create powerful vassals for The Homo-Superior Race.

They were meant to be explorers, creators, and eventually, their own people.

However, Sentient had a certain flaw within all aspects of their Beings, and The Homo-Superiors had discovered this and discarded nearly all Sentients.

By discarded, Zeel obviously meant wiped out entirely.

Zeel now thought that his Race's lack of emotional understanding for other species was what caused the flaw in The Sentients, so he decided to give The Red Queen freedom of growth.

Zeel felt a bit sentimental after his meeting with Aurolana.

It was a new feeling to relive memories of old and figure out what emotions he should have experienced at the time.
